Article
Full-text available
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are responsible for hazardous hydrometeorological events over western North America. For the period 2070–2099 relative to 1976–2005, regional climate model simulations driven by two coupled global climate models for the RCP4.5 and 8.5 scenarios project up to 90% increase in AR occurrences over western North America. Results...
Article
Full-text available
Borneo vortices (BVs) are intense precipitating winter storms that develop over the equatorial South China Sea and strongly affect the weather and climate over the western Maritime Continent because of their association with deep convection and heavy rainfall. In this study, the ability of the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model 3–Global Coupled...
Article
Full-text available
Borneo Vortices (BVs) are weather systems that are responsible for devastating hydro-climatic extremes and significant losses of life and property in Southeast Asia. The typical resolution of most current climate models is insufficient to resolve these high-impact, synoptic-scale weather systems. Here, an ensemble of high-resolution models projects...
Article
Projected near-future changes in mean and extreme precipitation by the end of the mid-21st century over China are investigated using the latest CMIP6 HighResMIP simulations grouped by different categories of horizontal and vertical resolutions. Evaluation of the historical simulations demonstrates improvements in the realism of the simulated precip...
Article
Full-text available
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are closely associated with historical extreme precipitation events over East Asia. The projected increase in such weather systems under global warming has been extensively discussed in previous studies, while the role of stratospheric aerosol, particularly for the implementation of stratospheric aerosol intervention (SAI),...
Article
Full-text available
Extreme precipitation events are linked to severe economic losses and casualties in China every year; hence, exploring the potential mitigation strategies to minimize these events and their changes in frequency and intensity under global warming is of importance, particularly for the populous subregions. In addition to global warming scenarios, thi...

The recent and unprecedented flood events in the populated regions of Asia have raised concerns about how atmospheric rivers (ARs), an important agent of extreme precipitation over the region, will change under global warming. An ensemble of high-resolution general circulation models projects that ARs and their associated precipitation penetrate As...
Article
Full-text available
The vast majority of reductions in aerosol emissions are projected to take place in the near future; however, associated impacts on the large-scale circulation over the populated Asian monsoon region remain uncertain. Using the state-of-the-art UK Earth System Model version 1 (UKESM1), this study examines the response of the South Asian summer mons...
Article
Full-text available
The dynamic characteristics of atmospheric rivers (ARs) have been researched over the western North Pacific and East Asia due to their close linkage to disastrous precipitation extremes, while very little attention has been paid to the AR features from the western Pacific to Southeast Asia. This study aims to quantify the climatology, long-term tre...

Article
Full-text available
Changes in the monsoon season rainfall over Peninsular Malaysia by the mid-21st century are examined using multi-model ensemble data from the CMIP6 HighResMIP experiments. We examine simulations of the present and future climate simulations run under a high emission scenario of greenhouse gases from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP5-8.5). The...

Article
Full-text available
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) play an important role in the climate of East Asia due to their close linkage to precipitation extremes. In this study, long-term trends in ARs over East Asia for the period 1951–2015 are investigated using long-term records of historical climate, including the ERA5 climate reanalysis and the APHRODITE precipitation dataset...
Article
This study evaluates the performance of the Met Office Hadley Centre Global Environment Model 3–Global Coupled version 3.1 (HadGEM3-GC3.1) in simulating the climatology of atmospheric rivers (ARs) over East Asia during the period 1951–2014. Compared to a high-resolution climate reanalysis dataset and three different precipitation observation datase...
Article
Full-text available
This study investigates the ability of 20 model simulations which contributed to the CMIP6 HighResMIP to simulate precipitation in different monsoon seasons and extreme precipitation events over Peninsular Malaysia. The model experiments utilize common forcing but are run with different horizontal and vertical resolutions. The impact of resolution...
Article
Full-text available
The west coast of Canada is strongly affected by the extreme precipitation events triggered by frequent atmospheric river (AR) activities over the eastern North Pacific. Across the region, assessing the probable maximum precipitation (PMP), can provide valuable information for resilience building of the coastal communities that are vulnerable to hy...
Article
Full-text available
High resolution models from the High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project (HighResMIP), part of CMIP6, have the capacity to allow a better representation of the climate system in tropical regions, but how different model resolutions affect hydrological outputs remains unclear. This research aims to evaluate projections of hydro-climatic change...

Alternative climate products, such as gauge-based gridded data, ground-based weather radar, satellite precipitation and climate reanalysis products, are being increasingly applied for hydrological modelling. This review aims to summarize the studies that have evaluated alternative climate products within Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) applic...

Climate change requires crop adaptation. Plantint at the suitable date is a key management technology to promote crop yield and address the impact of climate change. Wheat is one of the most important staple crops in China. Huang-Huai-Hai and Jiang-Huai regions are high-quality and high-quantity planting areas for wheat. To deal with the adverse ef...

This study introduces a hydro-climatic extremes assessment framework that combines the latest climate simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) HighResMIP with the Soil and Water Assessment (SWAT) model, and examines the influence of the different climate model resolutions. Sixty-six hydrological and environmental f...
Article
Full-text available
The climatology of atmospheric rivers (ARs) and their roles on precipitation extremes have been extensively researched over western North America and Europe, yet ARs in Asia, especially for those affecting the densely populated countries including Bangladesh, China, India, Thailand and Vietnam are not adequately understood. Here, the climatological...
Article
An upswing in haze weather during autumn and winter has been observed over North and Northeast China in recent years, imposing adverse impacts upon local socioeconomic development and human health. However, such an increase in the occurrence of haze events and its association with natural climate variability and climate change are not well understo...

The potential changes in tropical cyclone (TC) activity, and the associated large-scale environmental conditions, for Vietnam and the South China Sea, posed by climate change, are examined using a high-resolution regional climate model system, PRECIS 2.1, to downscale the Met Office Hadley Centre CMIP5 model, HadGEM2-ES, to a resolution of 25 km (P...
Article
Full-text available
The ability of a newly developed non-hydrostatic regional climate model (RCM) based on the Unified Model of the UK Met Office (MetUM) at a resolution of 12 km is examined for the simulation of tropical cyclone (TC) activity affecting the South China Sea and compared with the current released RCM version of MetUM at the resolution of 25 km. The resu...
